Just a sweaty nerd interested in software, home automation, emotional issues, and polite discourse about all of the above.
Slotted becomes far more tolerable when you have a hollow-ground screwdriver. Flathead screwdrivers should not have the profile of a wedge. They should look like this:
This profile ensures that the force is applied lower in the slot, not right at the very top edge.
I still HATE slotted screws when torque is required or where corrosion can occur, but the hatred of them is also partially due to shitty drivers.
Here’s a picture that says all of the above but far more concisely:
pls watchlist me
That’s fair though. I mostly made my comment to be irritating/silly. Vim is not for everyone. It took me quite some time to achieve productivity gains, but I was encouraged to keep trying because I was doing a shitload of text editing over SSH. All text editors are valid, provided they’re FOSS.
neovim to the rescue.
Arch Linux, on an old Compaq pizza box server when I was 16. It took me 3 months to install Arch because there was a DIP switch on the motherboard that somehow prevented you from updating the MBR or some shit.
I basically never used it and didn’t touch Linux again until 7 years later, when I used SLES 11 SP2 at a job.
I’m the opposite. I find LC much more interesting, plus REPO’s camera inertia gives me terrible motion sickness, even when the animation speed is reduced and all the other settings are changed. I can’t even watch someone stream it, the inertia is so extreme.
I think they’re fundamentally different games. The limited day length in LC gives a much more tense vibe, where repo is a bit more laid back and lets you really scour every level. LC also doesn’t have the upgrade system present in REPO, meaning doing well on the harder moons is entirely skill based. I prefer skill over upgrades, but I know others don’t. I’ve heard from people who are really into REPO that past level 6 or 8, the difficulty doesn’t really increase, and getting too many strength upgrades can trivialize the game.
They both have their merits. You find REPO to be more enjoyable which is totally fair and valid.
“Get off vent, or I’ll have you bent.”
I wish those stupid videos weren’t the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word “Ventrilo.”
ooh ooh I know about this because of this silly thing:
God, can we not though? Haha funni meme and all, but like, I’m so tired of seeing this shit. It sucks for the women in the community, and honestly it sucks for the men too. It’s just such boomer humor.
In the short term? Grey rock your “friend.” This person is an enabling shit who does not have your best interests at heart. You are being physically abused. What you describe isn’t corporal punishment (which I personally consider to still be physical abuse), it is abuse. Starving someone to punish them is abuse. Anyone who takes part in, or enables said abuse is not someone you want in your life.
Do you have anyone safe in your life that you could go to? Other friends that would not condone what you are experiencing? An estranged parent? Even a trustworthy teacher? I’d recommend trying to build up a support network of people who actually care for your well being before pushing this enabling piece of trash out of your life.
I think you’ll enjoy this if you haven’t already seen it.
As someone who somewhat recently wasted 5 hours debugging a “simple” bash script that Cursor shit out which was exploding k8s nodes—nah, I’ll pass. I rewrote the script from scratch in 45 minutes after I figured out what was wrong. You do you, but I don’t let LLMs near my software.
I was concerned about what happens when someone accidentally throws away a device with a fresh battery, but this:
The BV100 harnesses energy from the radioactive decay of its nickel-63 core. The two-micron thick core, sandwiched between two 10-micron thick diamond semiconductors
makes me feel a bit better. That really isn’t much radioactive material. Still, it’d be good to see some environmental impact studies done in some worst case scenarios.
Yeah, I could see it being from an antitheist if it was more along of the lines of “fuck all gods” or something along those lines. That’s operating under the assumption that all antitheists are atheists, which may not be true.
… Someone who is a theistic antitheist sounds like an interesting person.
He boot too big for he got damn feet!
I miss /r/boottoobig. Thanks for posting some poetry here.
It’s not a VR game by default, although I think there’s a mod or a VR version or something.
I love the thing about the bees. I remember doing the exact same thing multiple times. I eventually learned that you should leave them on the catwalk on the side of the ship and then run to grab them once the ship is leaving (since you’re safe as long as you’re on the ship somewhere, you’ll just be teleported inside with whatever you’re carrying).
Also, the airhorn is great. I think I like the hairdryer even more because it’s louder, and I think it’s fun that you can recharge it to get more VRRRRRRRs out of it.
Huh, sounds like a neat twist on the accelerator driven subcritical reactor. I’ve no idea what the viability will be, but it also seems like a nice way to generate useful isotopes for nuclear medicine and shit.
EDIT: ah, it’s actually a pretty old idea, it predates the accelerator reactor concept by quite a bit.
I’m on my early thrities. I scored 1, I believe. I don’t think I’ve ever recorded music off of the radio. I had CDs as a child, and then Napster, Limewire, and Limewire’s degen cousin Bearshare came along and made recording shit off of the radio unnecessary. I’m pretty sure I’ve used a portable cassette player, although I doubt it was a Walkman. It was probably some cheap Chinese shit.
Also, this is very Facebook and I feel weird for responding. I’ll blame it on being half awake.
EDIT: oh, the rules have changed. If we’re only counting the past 12 months, then 18, I think? I own a physical dictionary and encyclopedia, although I’ve no idea where they are.
I love Lethal Company :) It’s so fun and silly, and it has ridiculously deep mechanics that keep it interesting to play for hundreds and thousands of hours. I’ve been playing it solo for a while now and it’s a really good challenge.
Even if the width of your driver doesn’t match, a hollow ground tool is still a huge improvement imo. I’m definitely not a fan of slotted screws though. I’d rather have Phillips head provided I have a super grippy Wera screwdriver.
For me, it’s outside hex > torx > pozidrive > internal hex > Phillips > JIS > slotted. I’ve never used a Robertsons screw so I can’t form an opinion on them.
